No, we don't. GnuPG has originally been developed in Germany because we have been able to do that without being affected by the US _export_ restrictions. We had to reject any contributions from US citizens or from people living the the US. That changed by end of 2000 when the export restrictions were basically dropped for all kind of freely available software. In the US you only need to send an announcement mail to some address of the US Department of Commerce to contribute to a crypto project. I don't have the details at hand, because I am not affected ;-) We still keep the GnuPG infrastructure (e.g. the primary FTP server) in Europe to be prepared for the case that the US start to restrict crypto again.
